“Here’s the USB flash drive you wanted,” Grace said as she pulled out a USB flash drive and handed it to Stella.
Stella did not take it. Instead, she said to her, “I’m busy right now, I’m going to shoot my scene later. Why don’t you go and wait for me in the lounge nearby? Besides the USB flash drive,
I want to ask you a few questions about the case and relay. them to Lawyer Carter for me. After all, you’re his a**istant, aren’t you?”
» Grace frowned, not wanting to linger.
Just then, Grace’s eyes landed on one of the extras waiting for their turn to film. She froze.
When the person saw Grace, they froze for a moment before walking over and asking, “Grace, why are you here?”
“You know each other?” asked Stella.
“Yes, we know each other!” It was a woman under 30 with a brawny appearance and a strong build. She was disdainful toward Grace, but she was nodding and bowing to Stella in an attempt to curry favor with her.
After all, though she was just an extra on the set, she knew Stella-the most likely girlfriend of the crown prince right now! She heard that she even saved the crown prince’s life when he was a child!
While many people in the film crew secretly disdained Stella, but in the open, they tried hard to curry favor with Stella.
After all, if they managed to be friends with Stella, they might be able to become friends with the crown prince too!
In the entertainment industry, who would not want to be friends with the crown prince Brian?
Grace looked at the woman in front of her who had been in the same prison cell as her. The woman had beaten her numerous times, pulled her hair, and soaked her face in cold water. Even now, the choking pain was still so real to her!
Grace’s face was cold.
Looking at Grace, Wu Mincui grinned and said, “What’s the matter? We were sisters back then, so why the long face?”
Grace snorted. “I don’t have a sister like you!”
Wu Mincui only felt herself being humiliated hard by Grace. When they were in prison, she had beaten and scolded Grace as if she were a cheap dog. Now, how dare Grace treat her this way, especially in front of Stella?!
Wu Mincui immediately said unhappily, “Have you forgotten that we were all in the same prison cell?”
However, after saying this, Wu Mincui was taken aback. She regretted it immediately. If people around them knew that she had been to prison, they would look at her with prejudice!
She probably could not keep her job as an extra for long.
Sure enough, some of the people around who heard what Wu Mincui had just said were now looking at them in some sort of way.
Someone even asked, “You’ve… been to prison? But how can you be a paralegal… if you’ve been to prison?”
They were naturally referring to Grace! Wu Mincui looked at Grace with jealousy. ‘How could this woman still be a paralegal after getting out of prison?’
On the other hand, she was not doing so well outside compared to her time in prison. In prison, at least she was able to show off in front of the other inmates.
Grace was used to the strange stares around her and did not bother explaining anything, but Stella unexpectedly helped her out by saying, “It’s just a couple of years in prison. It’s nothing.”
With that, Stella looked at Grace with feigned kindness and said, “Grace, we’re cousins. I don’t care if you’ve been to prison. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me.”
A glint flashed across Grace’s eyes. Was her cousin trying to show others her sisterly affections again?
Sure enough, some of the people who usually flattered Stella said, “Oh, Stella, you’re so caring.”
“Yes. Although being caring is a good thing, you still have to be careful.”
“That’s right. You must be careful. Some people will come out of prison a different person.”
Just then, another actress who disliked Stella suddenly said, “Hey, she has a relative who has been to prison. I wonder if the crown prince would mind? the Hart family is a distinguished family, after all!”
Another person immediately said, “What are you talking about? It’s only Stella’s cousin who has been to prison. What does it have to do with Stella?”
“That’s right, Besides, Young Master Hart is so nice to Stella that he doesn’t care if Stella’s cousin has been to prison or not.”
All of a sudden, people started commenting on Grace about her imprisonment, treating Grace like air. They completely made her fodder for conversation. No one cared about her feelings!
Grace looked at everything in front of her coldly. Feigning kindness, Stella said, “Grace, please go to the lounge and wait for me for a while. I’ll get back to you after I’m done with my makeup and tell you some ideas on the follow-up of the case.”
Grace pressed her lips together at that. However, she chose to head to the lounge to wait for Stella anyway.
After all, work was work, even though she did not want to linger any longer.
When she reached the lounge, Grace sat down. The room was empty at the moment. Grace sat down on the couch and waited for Stella.
It was not long before she heard a man’s gasps in the room.
Grace was stunned. Before she could think it over, a figure suddenly popped out from behind a curtain in the lounge. where people could change their clothes.
Grace took a closer look. It was Robert Brewer!
Stella’s ex-husband!
However, Robert Brewer seemed a little unusual. His face was red, and he was wearing only a pair of boxers. There was something ferocious and impatient about his countenance. His eyes seemed like he had lost his mind. They did not have the clarity of a normal person!
What was going on?
Grace ran almost subconsciously toward the lounge door, only to feel her heart sink as she pulled the handle.
The door had been locked from the outside!
Was this a set-up?
By Stella?
Robert Brewer’s gasping came closer, and he rushed toward her…
Outside the lounge, Stella was still quietly letting the makeup artist do her makeup, but she was nervous.
She did not know if things were going well!
She had specially asked Robert Brewer to come over today. Then, she secretly spiked Robert Brewer’s drink and asked Robert Brewer to hide behind the curtain in the lounge and wait for her.
Of course, her excuse was that it would be bad for her if she was found to be close to him. Besides, deals like this should be carried out secretly and could not be discovered.
Although her excuse was full of loopholes, Robert Brewer still believed her. After all, 50 million dollars was too attractive to him.
Now, according to Stella’s plan, the drug would have taken effect on Robert Brewer after Grace entered the lounge. Then, she would bring Brian over to catch them red-handed. Not only could Grace be completely humiliated, but Brian would also get rid of Robert Brewer. Robert Brewer could not threaten her anymore by then.
More importantly, Brian would not show much interest in Grace by then. After all, how could a man like Brian possibly accept someone who had been seen in public doing such a thing with another man?
Not to mention the Hart family. A woman with such a scandal would not be able to even enter the door of the Hart family’s house!
A smile appeared on the corners of Stella’s lips as she thought of her plans.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion on the set. The smile on Stella’s lips became more pronounced when she saw a tall figure walking toward her.
‘Finally, Brian’s here. The show’s about to begin.
Stella was now done with her makeup. She walked forward and said, “Brian, you’re here!”
“Is it so important that I watch this scene?” asked Brian. *Although he disliked Stella, he remembered that she had once saved his life, so he would do whatever he could if it was not too much.
“Yes, it is! Now that you’re here, I feel more secure,” said Stella. It was just that the scene she wanted him to see was not the one she was filming later.
Stella approached to take Brian’s arm as she spoke, trying to show that they were close in front of others.
However, before her hand touched Brian’s arm, he dodged it! As a result, her hand missed and her posture became ridiculous and strange.
“Stella, don’t do anything intimate to me that will give others the wrong idea. I only regard you as my childhood friend,” said Brian.
Suddenly, Stella felt as though everyone around her was looking at her with a sneer.
Brian was… telling people in public that they were just friends!
In her presence!
Stella’s heart was filled with hatred, but she managed to squeeze out a smile. “Of… Of course, I know. By the way,
Grace is here too. I asked her to wait for me in the lounge.
It’s… not my turn yet, so I’ll go find her first.””
